Exterior sensing
Precise LiDAR, infrared and ambient-light sensing technologies enabling ADAS functions, lighting automation and handsfree convenience.
Exterior sensing technologies for safer, smarter vehicle operation
Modern vehicles rely on a growing range of exterior sensing technologies to enhance safety, support driver‑assistance systems, and increase overall comfort. Lasers are a key element of LiDAR sensors, delivering precise 3D environmental data for advanced driver‑assistance (ADAS) and automated‑driving functions.
In addition, infrared emitters, infrared detectors and ambient‑light sensors enable accurate rain, light and tunnel sensing, allowing the vehicle to automatically activate headlights, adjust lighting levels, or adapt climate‑control settings based on sunlight conditions.
For everyday convenience features, capacitive proximity sensors detect touch and motion to enable functions such as hands‑free trunk opening (kick sensing) and easy vehicle entry.
Exterior sensing for ADAS
High-performance infrared emitters and sensors designed for reliable object, presence and distance detection in advanced driver-assistance systems.
Rain light tunnel sensing
Automotive-grade optical sensors enable accurate ambient, rain and tunnel detection to support automated lighting and wiper control.
